This study was conducted in a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on self-management and HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes. The sample of the study consisted of 25 experimental and 26 controls, who applied to an outpatient clinic in a training and research hospital.

Comparison of the pretest-posttest Diabetes Self-management Instrument-35 scores
The instrument is comprised of 35 questions covering the period from the previous three months to determine the frequency of the implementation of the self-management skills of the patients. The total score for the Instrument ranged from 35 to 140. A higher score showed that self-management activities were implemented on a more regular basis. Interventions consisted of four sessions of 30-60 (mean 45 min) min each. The sessions were structured according to the Behavior Change Stage Identification Form developed by the researcher by making use of the trans-theoretical model and adapting it to diabetic patients.The discussions were completed in four weeks, with one discussion held every week. The final test and the Diabetes Self-Management Instrument were applied again to the members of the intervention group in the third month after completion of the MI method sessions and in the third month to the control group.
